Wildhorse Saloon
The Wildhorse Saloon is located in the heart of historic downtown Nashville with the banks of the Cumberland River right outside our back door. Before the age of interstate highways, floating barges had a brisk trade in cattle and crops. In an effort to revitalize the once robust Second Avenue area, Gaylord Entertainment turned a three-story historic warehouse into a country music entertainment and dining mecca with the beginnings of a TNN televised dance show.

Get your team on the same page! For the love. We showed up with a party of 34. They wouldn't let us sit near the dance floor. After we sat down, they placed 'reserved' signs in our table. Plenty of open tables! We were told we could be helped upstairs. Didn't realize that it was a limited menu. After several requests for the manager, he finally came up and told us we could order off the menu. They were very unaccommodating and rude. Almost as if they didn't or couldn't handle a party that large. would never recommend

Excellent sound and huge stage for bands. Also literally the cleanest restroom I've ever been in in any bar or restaurant. Ever. I didn't eat there and I just saddled up to the bar. I found the bartenders to be wicked nasty and rude. Slinging bottles of beer with eye rolling and nasty comments. Would I go back? Yea if you're paying.

The venue was rented out for an event called Oolapalooza. It was an amazing venue. The sound system, the food, and the space. It's a great place for an event of this sort.

Pretty awesome music and service from staff. Asked twice for a tv to be changed to a bowl game was told all were accounted for it's nice to watch a reply of an NFL game. When the Clemson & Iowa State game is on. Poor management.

The dancing was the best. The dance floor was spacious and the music was great.
The food was meh. If I were to go back
I would opt for drinks only. The fried pickles were good. The ribs were not great. The shrimp and grits were over cooked. The desserts tasted like they were from a box but the service was really good and the line dancing was really fun.

Tourist trap. Avoid. The bartender said they didn't have grapefruit juice. What bar does not have grapefruit juice? All they have is pre mixed sugary crap. C'mon. The other drinks were gross and overpriced.

I had an awesome time at the wild horse saloon. I learned several different line dances and heard the great band three lane play throughout the night . I highly recommend having dinner here as you get multiple experiences in one . For dinner I had the spicy shrimp and grits, it was delicious; the spiciness was not overpowering and the glaze was perfectly right . I also tried the fried pickles, I did not like it at all. The drinks I had was the lucky 22 and yee haw dunkel .

So many fun spots in Nashville, but on a Tuesday night (in September) for a work function it was pretty dead.

I could see the potential, however.

The place is cavernous and probably fun during the right time.

Bartenders upstairs were great - super friendly and efficient!

Food was fine, the chocolate bacon was exceptional!

Probably need to stop in again to give the place a better review.

3 stars for now, trending...

Hung out here for a little over an hour tonight for dinner. The food is a little on the pricey side, but pretty tasty. The entertainment and atmosphere were top notch. I definitely recommend visiting. During the time we were there, they had 2 line dancing sessions, and one follow along on the dance floor while the talent performed. Haley Mae Campbell was the performer, and she was amazing! I can't wait for her to make it big!

10/10 was one of my favorite spots in Nashville. I loved the large dance floor and the band was amazing. Great place to come to dance at with your friends.

Note: they are closed on Sundays so make sure you check when they are open

This place is a unique Nashville experience! Way classier than many bars and you won't be standing shoulder to shoulder getting bumped around like many other venues...unless you find yourself coaxed by your friends to get on the (huge) dance floor for the free line dance lessons! Closed on Sundays and not open super late. Food served and great talent on the stage with great jumbo-tron screens!

This place needs some love. It's off the beaten path so often people don't go, but I promise you it's worth it. We saw a killer band there this weekend and had so much fun trying to line dance! I even got my husband out there during the lessons. My food was way better than I expected. The wild horses iconic been there for decades! Go check it out

Great steak, the fried pickle appetizer was massive....the drink the bartender made was awesome and the band was better than the ones on Broadway. Line dancing was great and there was an instructor. Life-size horses on the ceiling. A must see place! So much fun!

If you like line dancing or you have always wanted to learn line dancing, then you need to visit the Wildhorse Saloon! A huge dance floor and an equally large dining area with three bars to serve everyone. The Wildhorse has something for all ages and they provide line dancing lessons during band breaks and in-between bands. The food is pretty good, too. If your ever in Nashville, the Wildhorse Saloon should be a planned stop in your day or evening.

A large, fun, energetic dance hall with outstanding LIVE music and line dance lessons, what more could you ask for. I have enjoyed my time here for both a corporate event and on a personal trip, either or, it’s a spot that should not be missed! ZACH RAY AND HIS BAND WERE AWESOME!!

A must have in Nashville. There's so many things to love: three floors with plenty of sitting, good drinks, live music every single day, and even line dancing! It does get pretty busy so you might be waiting for service but with that being said, serves were very nice. We came two nights in a row because it was just that fun!

While visiting Nashville, walking by this place, they were teaching line dancing at a certain hour. We had a great time with the staff and crowd learning the moves.

What a different experience. Nothing like this out West, so it was a treat to be able to enjoy some drinks while watching everyone enjoying themselves on the dance floor. Not many masks in view, except for staff, and the place was packed well into the night. Drinks were strong and food was great.

Would recommend.

A fun vibe from the moment we arrived. A very engaging staff that assisted the entire party with line dancing lessons and kept our crowd entertained. Had a light dinner which helped build the activity when certainly accompanied by alcohol. It was a fun night by all.

Wildhorse Saloon was THE hit of our trip to Nashville. We had the kids with us and found it to be family friendly. Awesome apps, the fried pickles & hot chicken dip were amazing. Everyone loved their food! We got the BBQ chicken sandwich, the hot chicken sandwich, prime rib, and ribs and nobody had a complaint. We practically licked the plates clean. The bartenders and server were super friendly. The music was a little loud for one of the kids, so headphones would have been great for her, but the rest of us enjoyed the vibe and music so so much. Upstairs had pool tables and foosball so the

Love this place. We haven't been here in a couple years because they were allowing children in and they were running wild. The musician on stage was very uncomfortable. It was an awkward situation. Clayton Mann is on stage tonight. Great performance!
